Linda had a difficult time doing a blood draw at the Oncologist again today..took three tries again...the blood count was up a bit so the transfusion and Procrit seem to be working..she got another Procrit shot today....she is doing well.
"Dat's" about it.....
In the Wing's seminar last Saturday, we were asked to do a metaphor of a belief that we hold that is limiting and when changed will bring tremendous energy to our lives. Linda's limiting belief is that there is not enough time left in her life. The metaphor in her life is a "watch"....ie..the watch shows there is time....even though there are things going on in her body, she is living in the present and knows she does have time for a whole lot of things...
One of the other participants sent her an email saying she loved Linda's watch as a metaphor and that it reminded her of a song by Jimmy Buffett entitled "Breathe in Breathe Out Move On".The song is about hurricane Katrina but really about a watch that reads "now" and "the time is now", "breathe in", "breathe out" and "move on"......"the past is gone" and in my words, "the future hasn't come yet"
Breathe in, Breathe Out, Move on
(Jimmy Buffett)
I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, we've seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war
If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor
According to my watch the time is now
Past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
.
Thank you Cindy...that is really special and well worth sharing....wow!

Boy... maybe I should take that seminar. I've realized in the past few days that I have some very specific beliefs that hold me back. Thanks for the song. I usually despise Jimmy Buffet, but that song has a thought behind it that's very important. Live for today, take chances, have some fun, live your life and try your best not to worry about the future, because there's not much you can do about it. Just enjoy the rollercoaster that gets you there.
If only I could live by those words a little better. In some ways, I do live by them, in others...
Glad you both are doing well. Keep it up! Love to you both, as always.
